Insulating a top-floor flat from the inside — the build-up Technical Document F assumes.
A top-floor flat is the worst-performing dwelling type in Malta's energy tables, because the roof slab is a solar panel in August and a radiator to the sky in January. Technical Document F, which implements the energy performance regulations, sets a maximum roof U-value of 0.40 W/m²K for a new dwelling and 0.59 for a major renovation, and its own indicative build-up starts with a false ceiling under the slab and rigid insulation above it. That is a gypsum job.
Insulation from inside is what you can do without touching the roof membrane or the condominium's common parts. The Regulator for Energy and Water Services has run a roof-insulation grant of 50% up to €1,000; check the current call before you commit. No Maltese contractor publishes an installed rate, so the job is measured and quoted on site.
Quoted on site against the area and the U-value target. Malta publishes no installed rate for an insulated ceiling; the insulation and board are priced in the quote by thickness.
| Job | Unit | Band | What is in it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Insulated ceiling under a roof | m² | quoted on site | Technical Document F sets 0.40 W/m²K for a new roof and 0.59 for a renovated one; quoted on site |
| Dry-lining an external wall | m² | quoted on site | quoted on site |
| Plain false ceiling | m² | quoted on site | standard board is €6.82–15.78 a sheet (about €4.40 per m²) plus channel at €4.50–4.92 a length; labour has no published Maltese figure — quoted on site |
A band, not a quote: the low end is a straightforward job with clear access, the high end is the same job with the complications a site visit finds. Materials are included where the line says so.
You deal with us, not with the trade. We measure, we quote a fixed price, we bring in a gypsum contractor from the CheckYourTraders-verified network, and we stand behind the work. One point of contact, one contract, one invoice.
